rm -d...why won´t this remove a directory?

[anthony baldwin]

Shouldn´t "sudo rm -d [directory name] remove a directory?
rmdir will only remove empty dirs, and I am trying to remove a dir
and it´s contents.
I do
sudo rm --directory -f music
and get
rm: cannot remove `music': Is a directory

thanks
tony
